Researchers at Wroclaw Medical University report that acidified sodium chlorite—sold online as “Miracle Mineral Solution” (MMS)—can destroy bacteria and biofilms, but only at concentrations that also damage human cells and may harm beneficial gut microbes. The team warns that homemade mixtures are particularly risky because dosing can vary widely, and it says there is no solid scientific evidence supporting MMS as a treatment for diseases such as cancer, autism or COVID-19.
A large umbrella review of research on complementary, alternative and integrative medicine (CAIM) for autism has found no high-quality evidence that any of the approaches improves core or associated autism symptoms, while also reporting that safety outcomes are rarely evaluated. The researchers also launched a public online platform intended to make the evidence easier to explore.

A traditional Brazilian plant known as Joseph's Coat has demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory effects in laboratory studies, potentially offering a new natural treatment for arthritis. Researchers from three Brazilian universities confirmed the plant's ability to reduce swelling and protect joint tissue while showing a safe profile at tested doses. However, further clinical trials are needed before human use.
